― Academic Medical Centers
Design that stands the test of time. The vanguard of advanced clinical care and discovery, academic medical centers are among the most complex projects in healthcare today demanding sophisticated, rigorous, and enduring design. Projects must solve for clinical function, building performance, and enhanced experience today and for the next 50 years of evolving medicine. Spanning as long as a decade from concept to completion, these projects are often components of large, multi-use campuses that must remain operational at all times.
